Robert Manfred Jr., a former Morgan, Lewis & Bockius labor and employment litigation partner currently serving as chief operating officer of Major League Baseball, beat out two rivals to emerge victorious in the race to replace Allan “Bud” Selig as commissioner.
MLB’s 30 owners met Thursday in Baltimore to select the league’s 10th leader in a three-man race between Manfred, Boston Red Sox chairman Thomas Werner and MLB executive vice president of business Tim Brosnan, a former associate at Kelley Drye & Warren.
